  • Patent number: 4710598
    Abstract: The distributor of the present invention includes a housing having condenser and points therein and having a rotor adapted to actuate the points for producing intermittent pulses of current at an outlet connector. A dielectric disk is attached to the rotor and is adapted to rotate in unison therewith. A gasket provides a physical barrier between the conductive sheet which is above the gasket and the rotor, condenser and points which are below the gasket. A cap is mounted over the distributor housing and includes a pair of contact points which are adapted to be electrically connected one at a time to the conductive sheet on the disk during rotation of the disk. The two contact points on the cap include leads which lead to the sparkplugs of the engine. A single discharge coil includes a discharge post which is connected to a brush within the distributor cap.

  • Patent number: 4658103
    Abstract: The distributor of the present invention includes a housing having condenser and points therein and having a rotor adapted to actuate the points for producing intermittent pulses of current at an outlet connector. A dielectric disk is attached to the rotor and is adapted to rotate in unison therewith. The upper surface of the disk includes a conductive sheet which covers only a portion of the upper surface of the disk. A cap is mounted over the distributor housing and includes a pair of contact points which are adapted to be engaged by the conductive sheet on the disk during rotation of the disk. The two contact points include leads which lead to the spark plugs of the engine. A single discharge coil includes a discharge post which is connected to a brush within the distributor cap. The brush extends downwardly through the cap and is in electrical connection with the conductive sheet at all times during rotation of the conductive sheet.
